Will the third time be the charm for the cowboys?Fan favorites Jet and Cord will be one of three teams racing for the third time on The Amazing Race All-Stars, CBS announced Monday. The other three-timers are Harlem Globetrotters Flight Time and Big Easy, and mother and son Margie and Luke, the show's first and thus far only deaf Racer.Photos: Meet The Amazing Race All-Stars castOther returning teams include last season's fourth-place finishers, the Afghanimals/cousins Leo and Jamal, twins Natalie and Nadiya (Season 21), and Season 20 fan favorites and BFFs Bopper and Mark. There are four teams from Season 22: country singers Caroline and Jennifer; YouTube hosts Joey and Meghan; father and son cancer survivors Dave and Connor, who withdrew last time due to Dave's ruptured Achilles heel; and engaged couple Jessica and John, who have the dubious honor of being the first team eliminated while holding an Express Pass.Exclusive: Brendon and Rachel "so excited" to return for Amazing Race All-StarsAs TVGuide.com previously reported, Big Brother couple and Season 20 alums Brendon and Rachel will also be back.None of these teams won the $1 million on their first (or second) go-around, with the cowboys and Globetrotters placing the highest, second place, in Seasons 16 and 18, respectively. John and Jessica have the lowest previous placement in ninth place.
